Makes sense, Death are one of Josh's favourite bands. Chuck was a beast but Josh writes in a more modern thrash style I'd say.

Sylosis never disappoints, Josh writes so well in all aspects, probably one of the underrated guitarist out there.

For Sylosis suggestions: - Arms Like A Noose (Riffs of the year for me in 2020) - Out From Below - A Dying Vine - Behind the Sun - A Serpent’s Tongue - Altered States of Consciousness (Riffs galore) - To Build A Tomb - Servitude (Nik you’re gonna like the chunk) - Indoctrinated

The way Nik talks about the Architects influence makes me think he doesn't know Josh is a member.

I remember seeing Sylosis open up for someone years ago. I remember being really impressed because somebody told me they play in standard tuning, and they were still the heaviest band of that night. They left such an impression on me, I don’t even remember who they opened up for. All I remember from that night Sylosis.

Damn I’m early. Havent even listened to the news Sylosis track yet so glad to be watching with you Nik 🤘🏾

Been a fan of Sylosis for a long time and Josh has really progressed as a musician. His time with Architects is really sneaking into his vocals and guitar work. If you are looking for older Sylosis look at Empyreal on Edge of the Earth or Fear the World on Monolith. Thanks for digging into this new track Nik!

Thank you Nik for all the bands you’ve introduced to me in 2020, may there be many more in 2021

What a perfect fucking day. It's Friday, We get a Nik Nocturnal reaction to Sylosis, and Josh Middleton's signature LTD got announced.

I've got your spotify playlist saved at home and work for all day chonkiness.

You make my day, every day Nik

Sylosis was one of the first bands I'd seen live, back like 13 years ago, when they had Jamie as vocalist. Playing small uk town shows they were great band and still are :)

Sylosis - After Lifeless Years

Josh so good in everything. Astonishing

I feel like everything they do is great. Still new to Sylosis, but goddamn Josh is so talented.

🙏 Empyreal 🙏 - they’re ability to blend decades and genres of metal so smoothly is unreal

Another banger from Sylosis, thank you! Some more please!!: Teras Empyreal Out From Below Thanks dude !

Looking forward to seeing Sylosis live now in 2021

React to Hollow front Don't fall asleep heaviness and goodness in this song are incredible 😍

I'm sorry but for ALL Nik has done and accomplished why doesn't he have a mil plus Subs. I don't get it, if anyone needs it Nik does. I have never heard a single person say anything negative about Nik but how humble and nice he is to work with. Nik one day it would be a absolute honor to meet you and hang with you mate. 🖤

So it's funny cause Ali the drummer in this band also plays in Bleed From Within and the intro from 1:23 onwards reminds me of BFW's song Into Nothing. Dig the tune and great reaction Nik! \m/

Sylosis , Arsis , Allegeon these guys deserve much much more :) keep rocking

This defo feels like it has a Bleed from Within vibe in that main riff

Snapped my neck to this one! Sylosis has been and continues to be one of my favorite metal bands. If you've never listened to it, their Edge of the Earth album is probably my top 5 all-tike favorite albums.

Buena reacción Nik 🖤🤘🏼

Wasn't expecting any new Sylosis just now, so this was a good surprise this morning ^^' (it was morning for me here in Germany when they dropped it anyway ;P)

So i would love to see you reacting to "altered states of conciousnes" by sylosis. It is probaply my favorite song by them and the technicality of that song will blow you away.

Teras , blackened skyline, conclusion of an age. All SYLOSIS bangers

hey buddy, love your content! Please try out Forgetting the Memories and their song Cult. their melodies are unique, screams are amazing, and breakdowns are catchy!

Beginning Gives me oldschool godsmack feels lol

great video dude

I find all the best music through Nik.

Sylosis is such a good combination with Josh and Ali, look at their other bands. Coming together it makes for tasty, tasty riffs. Josh is such a fucking weapon on guitar, I love he keeps the art of the solo alive. Ali has this simplicity with drums that has such a massive sound, so many drummers over-do it a bit, dont get me wrong it sounds sick, but Ali's approach in less is more but with some technical flow is awesome.

Peace n love y'all

I know you've reacted to a song of theirs before, but it's funny you mention Archbleghs influence creeping in because I'm not sure if you're aware, but Josh Middleton is Tom Searle's replacement and even before then, Sylosis always had this Archibleghs/Periphery-songwriting-but-with-thrash-metal-instrumentation vibe to it, and you can see how his tenure in Architects has influenced him even more from Cycle of Suffering-today.

You nailed it when you said it has that old skool feel but totally modern sound. Josh's riffs are so heavy and unpredictable yet they resolve like a perfect piece to a puzzle. I have been a huge fan of Sylosis since the beginning, never cared for any other bands he's been in though.

Their Drummer, Jason Richardson is also in Bleed From Within. He's a monster.

wow, havent heard from sylosis in a while, they are pretty bad ass, very underrated

A Night in the Abyss’ new single Begotten is some sexy deathcore 🤘been hammering the repeat button all day. Very talented band.

I’m shocked NIK didn’t review the two new EVERY TIME I DIE tunes.

Sylosis truly deserves to be more well-known in the scene. They're seriously so underrated!

2020's hellscape continues to bear its fruit as it comes to a close. It has certainly been a winter flower for the metal scene. SO many bands using the time to think, write, and reinvent.

Some of the reverb/bass soundscape was a bit spread thin in some places, with silent pauses feeling off. But some of those passages with more layers were incredible, yet easy to parse. Vocals perfect

Man I haven't listened to some sylosis in a min

Mix of Gojira and trivium. Bangin tune though! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

Josh is awesome, great guitarist and screamer,

Fuckin love sylosis. One of the few bands I clap like a little girl waiting for the next album.

Oh you have to cover this

Hey bro. I just wanted you to know.. because of your tips and lessons I am now begging to become a solid metal player. The way you explain things is just what I needed.

reminded me of, and idk which song, but a song by Dethklok in Metalocalypse
